Nigeria will accept new rules aimed at minimizing plastic pollution, especially from plastic packaging, the leading source of plastic waste.
Developed with assistance from the United Nations Organizational Plan (NEP), these regulations will be accountable for companies by managing the production of plastic and use.
Near Regulations is a part of the Enwender Promer Cerfer Construction (EPR), a successful Plan in Europe for more than thirty years.
EPR Laws are very oppressive in plastic packaging countries, and the Nigerian officials hope the same results.
National National Environmental Environmental Envument Corkor General Director General Director General Generance Barikor said: “The expansion of the manufacturer as manufacturers’ impurities of manufacturers, embrace the goal of the manufacturer.”
With the production of plastic and importing plateage in the past two decades, waste management systems in Nigeria has a serious problem, which leads to full-natural uncleanness.
Under the new EPR framework, companies involved in producing, import, to distribute, and sell plastic packaging will need to be funded by the manufacturer’s burden.
These non-profitable activities will be given to reduce the packaging pollution, which build 63% of the plastic network.
Regulations and Mandate Companies look for other packaging solutions, re-activate measures, enhance the recovery, and include a limited part of the rehabilitation of their pocket.
Nigeria currently creates an enforcement plan, and UNEP support, and is expected to work in the next few months, according to Barimor.
While EPR’s laws are in a place fifty fifty, lessons from an economic partnership and development (OECD)
For example, France, see the great increase in recycling prices since the process of using EPR laws at the beginning of the 1990s.
The French Profer Saval Organization reports that 67% of housing and 27% plastic is now reused, exceeding 9% of plastic renewal.
Despite EPR’s benefits, experts warns that it should be part of the broader policy, including combining problems, promoting re-use, and improving waste management products.
